There is no need to keep track of the number of lines with a separate variable. Perl already does this with the $. variable. Also, a regex that replaces everything is pointless, just assign to $_. perl -pi -le '$_ = "something" if $. == 10' your_file -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
